Features

The 500D Series includes an improved reel increasing durability in heavy crop conditions.

500D Draper teeth

If reel teeth need to be replaced, it can be done quickly. Easy reel tooth replacement with one-quarter turn of a wrench means up to 20 percent improvement in the time it takes to replace reel teeth. If one does break, a ninety degree turn will allow the reel tooth to be removed. Additional teeth can be added at any location along the extruded tooth bar.

A double swath package (hydraulic deck shift) is available as an option for the 525D, 530D, and 536D Draper Platforms.

Double swath is controlled from the cab using hydraulics and two shifting decks. Operators can choose right, left, or center delivery of the windrow.

The double swath package is a valuable asset for producers who want to combine the two windrows into one to match up with the material handling capacity of larger combines and self-propelled forage harvesters (SPFHs).

Additionally, the package gives the ability to discharge crop to the outside on the headland to prevent running over the windrow while cutting the rest of the field.

When the operator wants to switch back to center delivery, it can be completed with the touch of a button using the controls inside the cab.

When dealing with multiple crops, the 500D Draper Platform and John Deere rotary platforms are quickly interchangeable on W235 or W260 Traction Units. These platforms can be interchanged in 30 minutes or less. This means customers can use one traction unit for harvesting both small grains and hay.
